    Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all?

    Originally published: The Cradle on April 8, 2025 (more by The Cradle)  |

    Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a U.S. war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump’s war is singularly directed at the transformational global ‘changes they are driving together.’

    From 11 September to 7 October: The fake ‘War on Terror’ collapses

    Originally published: The Cradle on September 13, 2024 (more by The Cradle)  |

    For years, the U.S. executed Israel’s regional destabilization program using phantom terrorists as justification for the ‘War on Terror.’ But 7 October 2023 killed Washington’s never-ending war project–with a flip of the switch, U.S. adversaries have now turned the ‘Long War’ on Israel.

  • Sahel's 'Axis of Resistance'

    The Sahel’s ‘Axis of Resistance’

    Originally published: The Cradle on April 1, 2024 (more by The Cradle)  |

    The African Sahel is revolting against western neocolonialism–ejecting foreign troops and bases, devising alternative currencies, and challenging the old multinationals. Multipolarity, after all, cannot flower without resistance paving its path.

    Originally published: The Cradle on September 25, 2023 (more by The Cradle)  |

    The India-Middle East-Europe transportation corridor may be the talk of the town, but it will likely go the way of the last three Asia-to-Europe connectivity projects touted by the west-to the dustbin. Here’s why.

  • No Respite for France as a ‘New Africa’ Rises

    No respite for France as a ‘New Africa’ rises

    Originally published: Internationalist 360° on September 1, 2023 (more by Internationalist 360°)

    Like dominos, African states are one by one falling outside the shackles of neocolonialism. Chad, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and now Gabon are saying ‘non’ to France’s longtime domination of African financial, political, economic, and security affairs.

    Syria: a tale of plunder and resurrection

    Originally published: The Cradle on July 31, 2023 (more by The Cradle)  |

    While the wholesale theft of Syria’s natural resources continues under the watch of illegal U.S. troops, the Russian project of resurrecting ISIS-destroyed Palmyra stands as a stark reminder that ruins can rise again-if Syria’s friends help pave the way.

  • BRICS

    BRICS problems, BRI solutions

    Originally published: The Cradle on July 24, 2023 (more by The Cradle)  |

    While the five original BRICS states have their geopolitical differences, they are finding enormous common ground on the geoeconomic front as trade volumes surge and trade routes multiply.

  • How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

    Nord Stream terror attack: The plot thickens

    Originally published: Internationalist 360° on February 16, 2023 (more by Internationalist 360°)

  • The failed coup in Brazil

    Why the CIA attempted a ‘Maidan Uprising’ in Brazil

    Originally published: The Cradle on January 11, 2023 (more by The Cradle)  |

    The real U.S. agenda in Africa is hegemony

    Originally published: The Cradle on September 21, 2022 (more by The Cradle)  |

    Forget development. Washington’s primary interest in Africa today is keeping the Chinese and Russians out.

  • NATO vs Russia

    NATO vs Russia: what happens next

    Originally published: The Cradle on May 24, 2022 (more by The Cradle)  |

    In Davos and beyond, NATO’s upbeat narrative plays like a broken record, while on the ground, Russia is stacking up wins that could sink the Atlantic order.

  • Leading Russian economist Sergey Glazyev says a complete overhaul of the western-dominated global monetary and financial system is under works. And the world's rising powers are buying into it

    Russia’s Sergey Glazyev introduces the new global financial system

    Originally published: The Cradle on April 14, 2022 (more by The Cradle)  |

    The world’s new monetary system, underpinned by a digital currency, will be backed by a basket of new foreign currencies and natural resources. And it will liberate the Global South from both western debt and IMF-induced austerity.

  • Luladinejad

    Pepe Escobar

      Lula from Brazil and Ahmadinejad from Iran.  What is this — the new axis of evil?  No — Luladinejad is a new axis of business. In the latest round of the increasingly warm embrace between Latin America and the Middle East, Lula and Ahmadinejad, meeting in Brazil, signed agreements on energy, trade and agricultural […]
